Requires school districts to provide information on free application for federal student aid to students in grades 11 and 12.

New Jersey's A2178 requires all public school districts to provide information about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to students in grades 11 and 12. This applies directly to high school students, their parents or guardians, and school districts, which must incorporate FAFSA details into career readiness curriculum and encourage completion. The bill also mandates the state Education Commissioner to publish a resource list with step-by-step instructions for completing the FAFSA. These requirements aim to increase access to federal student aid by ensuring students receive clear guidance during critical college planning years. The law would take effect in the first full school year after enactment.
